Well hello there! I’m so glad you’ve stopped by. It’s another week and another menu. I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

As you know last week here in Canada we celebrated Thanksgiving. I hosted dinner for 11 people and we had such a wonderful time. Dinner was an hour late because the darn turkey bird was taking it’s sweet time cooking but other than that small moment of panic it all came together nicely in the end.

I tried a new vegetable recipe this year and was it ever good. Whenever I host a dinner I like to prepare as much of the dinner as possible in advance. I have a small oven and once you get the turkey in there you don’t get anything else. The day before I made up my stuffing, veggie casserole and dessert. The morning of the party I put my stuffing in the crockpot and baked both the vegetable casserole and homemade buns before putting the turkey in. The dough for the bun recipe is done in the bread machine and it is really wonderful. Later while we were carving up the turkey and right before we ate I just had to heat the two things up in the oven. Easy and absolutely delicious!

beautiful place setting. I hear you on the lack of space once the turkey is in. My friend recently bought one of those plug in roasters. She LOVES it. It cooks in several hours and best of al the oven is free for side dishes. She got hers at superstore for $25. Initially she used it for camping but now uses it for all of her turkeys. have one on my christmas wish list.

What a delicious and simple Thanksgiving meal! Glad you all enjoyed it! I had my menu plan scheduled for 10 pm est and wow…yours posted at the SAME time! Glad I checked after mine posted! Cool! Have a delicious week…that broccoli cheddar soup looks awesome! Erin

Oh! Thanksgiving! My favorite holiday of all. Only one more month to go here in the States. Those Golden Pan rolls love SO good! I’ll have to try the recipe. And I’m going to have to have broccoli cheddar soup – soon!

Thanks for being here every week. Even if I stray for a while, I always get back on track, just so that I can post my menu with you! Your Crock-Pot Apple-Bacon Pork Chops with rice, zucchini and mushrooms looks great! Have a fantastic week!

Also, I can’t BELIEVE how many people are on this now…..on Monday a.m., I used to be in the top 100 people….wow, now it is almost to 200 this a.m…..and that isn’t including the people who will post after me….wow….

I love your Thanksgiving photos. Using a crockpot is definitely the way to go when your oven is full. I’ve never tried using one for stuffing, but I see it mentioned a lot during the holidays. I will have to give it a try and see how I like it.

I’m glad your Thanksgiving went well, even with the slight delay. And thank you for the Chocolate-Peanut Butter cake idea. I’m sorry that I didn’t get back to you earlier – life has been a bit stressful. :( Anyway, since I decided to re-join Weight Watchers this week – I think I’ll go with some biscotti – a bit easier for me to enjoy in moderation. ;) That recipe has been in my To Try file for when I have some friends over that LOVE chocolate and peanut butter though!

Hi, I’m new to Menu Plan Monday. I hope I did this correctly. We’ve been going to the grocery store every other week, so I plan for 2 weeks at a time. It saves time and money running across town to buy odd and end grocery items. God Bless!

Support organisations and the United Nations have appealed to the international community for support. The response has been overpowering, and planes are staying turned away from Toussaint L’Ouverture Worldwide Airport.
